The proceedings begin with a "Mid¬ night" Snack, sponsored by the Sister¬ hood and Men's Club, to which all the members of these groups, as well as the entire membership of the con¬ gregation are invited. Our congregational family has been scattered all over the world during the past few months. Many new peo¬ ple have recently moved into the neighborhood and will be worship¬ ping with us for the first time. The pre-Selichoth snack is an ideal time to meet old friends and to greet the new¬ comers. This "social hour" will begin
